OeC. IL, 4OO'.
DEAR Mrs. JOHNSON:
We think it is time you shoulo
hear from our town, as we claim
several acres of West Virginla's
fertile soil, and believe implicitly
in the efficacy of the water that
flows by US in the beautiful "Rlver
of the Woods.
Mrs. McClurkin came and went
like "pleasant thought" but she
organized our w. C. T. u, and we
have been meeting regularly since
September. We have forty-hve
members, take the Union Signal,
and have in our possession much
valuable and instructive temper
ance literature. We have not &C.
com plished much yet in the way
of collections, but our treasury is
not empty, and we hope to send
Mrs. Hubbard some soon.
Rev. Dickinson, of the Baptist
church, entertained us one even
ing with an able and surfing ad-
dress, and MIR. &C. Atkinson favor
ed us at another time with tenn
perance speech.
Rev. G. W. McClung, pastor OF
the M. E. Church South, is mem,
Der of our Union, and an invalua-
BILE help to ue all.
The young men are taking hold
of the work with becoming energy,
and we hope great things for BUT
talo.
We decided to introduce our work
in a taking dress, and gave our
first public entertainment at the
rink on the evening of December
9th. The building was crowded
Our music, america" "For God
and Home and Native Land ,;
Orally Children, Rally" "Dash 1t
Down." and several other songs,
| was good. "The Temperance
Army" was sung and acted by ten
young ladies dressed in white and
waving banners. We also had
Miss Anna Gordon's "Sense versus
License" acted by the young men,
Mr.. McClung officiating as Presi-
dent. "The Conscientious Shoe
maker" in a clear and ringing
voice, explained the business of
"Mr. VAMPIRE" and denounced
his vocation; and Rev. McClung
closed with a strong appeal for pro-
hibition. AS it was not generally
understood that we would take a
collection, We did not get much,
but we feel greatly encouraged.
We are all advocates of clear
heads and clean hearts, and shall
work for the Amendment with re-
newed zeal. Some of as take the
FREEMAN, but not the majority as
yet. Hoping some of the other
Unions will publish program Of
their public meetings, 1 am

There Is coId eomrort for the In

There is cold comfort for the Pro-
hibitionis,s in the confession Of the
Governor of Maine that he is unable
20 enforce the prohibition law OF that
State.
Maine may BE- said 10 be the birth;
place of Prohibition. 1t has been
nearly forty years now since 1t be-
came, in name at least, Prohibition
State, aud during all that time the
Prohibitionists within its borders
have been active and vigilantIn their
efforts 10 strengthen aud execute the
law, and yet here to-day is Gov. Bod
well acknowledging that it is prac-
teal nullity. 81 am trying" he says,
ITO enforce prohibition in Maine, but
find tits the biggest job that ever
undertook in my life. The law is
fairly we'll enforced in the rural dis
tricts, and receives the support of the
community, hut in the larger cities
and towns il is impossible to enforce
it, as the liquor men defy it, and in
many instances the local authorities
conspire with The violators and ac-
cept brides for them.'
This is simply another confirmation
of the fact that laws are worse than
useless which are not supported by
the public sentiment of the COM
munities in which they are to be ex-
ecuted. If Prohibition can not be en-
forced in a Puritsnical State like
Maine, where the people have been
educated for half century to believe
in lite righteousness and effectiveness,
it would be hard TO cay where it can
be enforced. Courier journal.
